So much to do, so little time

You get to choose from a plethora of programmes that run from 8.30am to 5pm, comprising fun things to do such as turtle feeding, treasure hunts, puppet making and birdwatching (above). Sign them up for one, or all the sessions — each is about an hour-long, so that’s more than enough time for you to sneak in a spa treatment. Most activities are complimentary and included in booking rates, though separate charges apply for select activities. And if you’re heading to Angsana Bintan, here’s the icing on the cake: book the Live for Family package to enjoy complimentary babysitting services and extra bed, among other perks.

For the arty, active kid

Where: Amari Phuket and Amari Koh Samui (pictured)What: The little tykes will revel in the cheery Kids Clubs at both resorts (open daily from 10am to 6pm), where they’re kept busy with cartoons to watch, playgrounds to go wild on, toys, games and puzzles to play with and workshops and classes such as nail art and arts and crafts lessons. The best part? There's no extra charge. Need some more me-time? Babysitting services are also available.

Water you waiting for?

Both kids and kidults will have a splashin’ good time at the three pools at Amari Phuket, including this kids pool. You know what that means: the more energy the kids burn, the easier they get to sleep at night. Win-win. More info at www.amari.com.

For Batman wannabes

Where: Millennium Hotels in Singapore — Orchard Hotel Singapore, Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore (above), M Hotel Singapore, Studio M Hotel Singapore, M Social Singapore or Copthorne King’s Hotel Singapore.What: Over here, Alfred isn’t Bruce Wayne’s stern elderly butler but a teddy bear. Okay, so this furry friend is just the mascot for the hotel group’s kids concierge service. But it’s still not a bad way to spend some staycation time with the whole family. For an additional $22 for the Ask Alfred kids package (complimentary for MHR’s Loyalty Programme members), the little ones are kept entertained with a teddy bear (pictured), an amenities set just for the munchkins (including toiletries, bathrobe and bedroom slippers). And, we’re guessing this is going to be a hit among children, a kids room service menu and jelly beans upon arrival. Parents get to sit back and woosah too — there’s a survival kit for parents which includes a 20 per cent discount at select F&B outlets at the group’s six hotels here.
